THE   OBSERVANCE   OF   LENT. 


"The  ends  to  be  sought: 

1.  To  get  nearer  to  Christ  in  mind  and  heart 
and  life ;  to  know  Him  better,  to  love  Him 
more  sincerely,  and  to  obey  Him  more 
implicitly. 

2.  To  conquer  the  sins  of  selfishness,  indiffer- 
ence and  worldliness,  which,  in  one  shape 
or  another,  are  the  special  enemies  of  the 
spiritual  life. 

"The  means  to  toe  employed: 

The  study  of  the  Scriptures,  public  worship, 
private  prayer,  systematic  fasting  and 
giving,  withdrawal  from  the  world,  and 
increased  activity  in  the  service  of  Christ. 

•'Suggestions  as  to  their  use: 

1.  Be  present  as  far  as  possible  at  every  ser- 
vice. 

2.  Take  part  earnestly  in  the  worship  with 
both  heart  and  voice. 

3.  Give  more  time  and  care  to  daily  private 
prayer. 

4.  '  Search  the  Scriptures '  with  increased  dili- 
gence. 


5.  Exercise  real  self-denial  in  meat  and  drink. 

6.  Abstain  entirely  from  all  ordinary  social 
amusements  and  gayeties. 

7.  Abandon  all  light  reading  that  you  may 
study  God's  Word. 

8.  Find  out  your  besetting  sins  and  struggle 
against  them. 

9.  Let  no  day  pass  without  an  earnest  effort  to 
contribute  to  the  comfort  or  happiness  of 
the  sick  or  sorrowing,  the  poor  or  neglected. 

10.  Make  it  a  point  to  give  something,  accord- 
ing to  your  means,  whenever  the  alms  and 
offerings  are  collected. 

11.  If  any  have  wronged  you,  forgive  them  for 
Christ's  sake,  and  seek  reconciliation. 

12.  If  you  have  wronged  any  one,  confess  your 
fault  to  God,  and  to  him,  and  make  such 
reparation  or  restitution  as  is  in  your  power 

13.  Try  to  be  unusually  kind  and  helpful  to  all 
about  you ;  and  thoughtful  and  appreciative 
of  all  who  may  render  you  service;  espe- 
cially in  your  own  home. 

14.  Make  definite  rules  for  your  guidance  during 
Lent,  but  do  not  bind  yourself  to  them  by  any 
stringent  vows,  lest  they  become  irksome, 
and  you  keep  them  for  the  sake  of  the  prom- 
ise rather  than  for  Jesus'  sake;  keep  your 
Christian  liberty,  that  each  act  of  self-denial 
maybe  offered  as  twilling  sacrifice  to  'Him 
who  loved  us  and  gave  Himself  for  us.'  '*

"  Lord,  i3  Whom  sliailV/e  Go?" 

HEX  wounded  sore  the  stricken  heart 
Lies  bleeding  and  unbound, 
One  only  Hand,  a  pierced  Hand, 
Can  salve  the  sinner's  wound. 

"When  sorrow  swells  the  laden  breast, 

And  tears  of  anguish  flow, 
One  only  Heart,  a  broken  Heart, 

Can  feel  the  sinner's  woe. 

When  penitence  in  vain  has  wept 

Over  some  foul  dark  spot. 
One  only  Stream,  a  Stream  of  Blood, 

Can  wash  away  the  blot. 

'Tis  Jesus'  Blood  that  washes  white, 

His  Hand  that  brings  relief, 
His  Heart  that's  touched  with  all  our  joys, 

And  feels  for  all  our  grief. 

L'ft  up  Thy  bleeding  Hand,  O  Lord, 

Unseal  that  cleansing  tide  ; 
"We  have  no  shelter  from  our  sin 

But  in  Thy  wounded  side. 

* 

(fz^_  RANT,  we  beseech  Thee,  merciful  Lord,  to  Thy 
%cJ{     faithful  people  pardon  and  peace,  that  they  may  be 
cleansed  from  all  their  sins,  and  serve  Thee  with  a 
quiet  mind  ;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.    Amen. 

* . 

IJysORD,  we  beseech  Thee,  grant  Thy  people  grace  to 
/I  A"  withstand  the  temptations  of  the  world,  the  flesh, 
and  the  devil,  and  with  pure  hearts  and  minds  to 
follow  Thee,  the  only  God;  through  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.     Amen.
